This document summarizes the water cycle from a child's perspective, starting with waste water leaving their house through the sewer and being cleaned in ponds, deserts, lakes, and water treatment plants before being distributed to homes through pipes from water towers. The story is told from grandmother to grandchildren to help explain where water comes from and where it goes in simple terms.
